az DIDN'T SELL our,

Some years ago, when Barnum's circus
passed through q country village, q small
boys father was too poor to allow his son
the chance to see the menagerie. The boy
saved some money through selling some
fried pies his mother cooked to help him
out, and, with double basket load, on
Fourth of July morning he walked to the
next village, where he told Barnum his
story, and the good-hearted Snowman
passed him in and gave him permission to
peddle his pies among tine visitors. The
boy wandered around with mouth agape at
the living curiosities he viewed for the first
time, and finally came to the elephants.
Here he set his basket down TO rest his
arm, and while Watching one elephant the
second reached out and appropriated his
basket of pies. The elephants fed them
selves with the sweetmeats and politely re-
turned the boy his basket. He started out
of the tent with his emp'y basket and met
Mr.. Barnum.
"Well, we'll, little boy, said the show
man, you've had good luck, hain't your
Sold out quickly"
"No, sir" said the boy, between his
sobs.

blubbered the unfortunate lad, with series
OF boo-hoos.

"Oh, / reckon we ken worry along with

"Sorry he went off thater way" said the

"Let him CO." replied Colonel Swagerty.

The day was beautiful. number Of
benches had been arranged in the grove,
and O gayly decorated stand had been
erected by the Colonel, who. proud Of the
distinction which he had won, and deter
mined that the "dockyment" should not be

lumber with his own money, and had, with
his own artistic paw" painted an eagle on

ST. JAMES.
A New Town in the santa An"
valley.

Yesterday Messrs. Matlock, Newton
A. Matlook held the first sale of town
lots in the new townsite OF ST. James
The place is on the line OF the Caiior'
mia Central railway, and about miie
below Burruel Point-the center oil inc
town plot is not more than hall a mile
below the big mill at the point. pc
hind st. James rises ridge Of low hills,
and the site slopes gently to the iine Oh
the railroad. The surroundings are
of the most desirable in all points. For
miles on all sides stretch the richest
lands in the country. immediately I'D
sight are vineyards and orchards OF ali
sorts where luxuriant growth and ilne
crops testify to the fertility OF the SOIL
and the salubriousness OF the climate
For Heterogeneous Of view nothing
could exceed the site of st. James. Inc
eve sweeps around the horizon in three
quarters of the compass, taking In twen-
ty miles of the country.
Already the graders are at work
making the grade of the railroad by the
town, There is also lot OF sixteen.
inch iron pipe to conduct water
to the town under high pres
sure. The supply comes from the
hills behind the mill, and work is
now well in hand to pipe this to all
parts of the town site. With fine soil,
plenty of back country, beautiful scene
ry, good drainage and a plentiful sup
ply of good water, it is bard to see why
St. James should not spring into promi-
nence as one of the best towns.
An excursion train came up yesterday
from Los Angeles, where it was met by
q long string of teams, which at once
took up the line of march for st. James. |
The distance from Anaheim is about
four miles. AT eleven o'clock there
we're perhaps $50 teams on the site |
" here st. James is to be, and the mum.
Der of people was in the neighborhood
If 800 persons. After an elegant ora
ion on the beauties and advantages OF
he place By Mr.. W. II. Holabird, Mr.. |
Matlock proceeded to make the crowd
ich by knocking down lots at very low
prices. The first lot sold was at $500,
nd then several..wen off in rapid sue.
session at 5000 to S400 each. The sale
some three hours, in which
ime lots aggregating eighty in number
md S25, 600 in price were disposed OF.
As there are but about 100 business
OTIS laid out in the town, and as there
re but a very limited number of resi-.
ence lots in st. James, it looks as II
he investors had done wise thing in
uyiDg yesterday. A fine hotel is to be
uilt at once, and many enterprises will
6 set on foot within few weeks at st.
aJnes.
The electric light plant will be begun
t Burruel Point in very short time.
t will light the st. James townsite as
lear as day.

EDITORS HERALp:-In the name of
many of my fellow-citizens of German
and Irish birth, several of them who
fought and bled for the liberty and union
OF their adopted country, the United
States. permit mo to thank you most
heartily for your noble and manly reply
to Rev. Mr.. Cantine's attack upon the
foreigners. How the reverend gentleman
can preach sermon SO contrary to the
teachings of Him who said, Love your
neighbors," is more than can
understand. 1t is true there are some
undesirable characters among the Ger.
man, Irish and other foreign born citi-
zens, but does this fact entitle minister
or any other person, upon such an occa-
sion as Memorial Day, when nothing
else should be preached but peace and
good will to all men, to make such an
nniustifiable attack? Respectfully,
An AMERICAN CITIZEN,

THE BALL GAME
Hetyyeen the Married and si"gte
Mines Yesterday.

Mines
The long talked of game OF baseball
between the married and single business
men of Los Angeles came .ff yesterday
afternoon at Sixth.street Park. The
crowd in attendance was extraordinarily
large for a Saturday game, and the pres
ence in the grand stand of many gaily'
a,tired and brightfaced ladies lent
strength to the arms of the players and
swiftness to their feet. The single nine
wore the sui Is of the Peck 4 Ruggles
club, while the married men donned the
handsome uniforms Of the Los Angeles
club, The boys all looked we'll in their
uniforms, albeit they did not ill them
out as well as the professionals do, and
some OF the pants were decidedly baggy.
All of the players were very risky at
the begin ming of the game, but on some
faces could be seen looks OF set deter
mination, and occasionally one would
be heard to mutter: "Well, I'll win
those suspenders;" and another: "lt we
win my hatband is assured;" while
married man was heard to pray; "The
Lord protect me when | 60 home this
night if those youngsters get away with
ns!''
Mr.. Monroe. of the Los Angeles Club,
was chosen umpire and Major Frank
McCoye, of Broad Acres, consented to
act as scorer. Following are the mines

A firm of Talented ana ExPe

A firm of TaIenrsd and Expe-
rtcnced Architects.
The gentlemen whose names head this
article, have opened offices in the new
Jones Block, near the HERALD office and
are now fitting up comfortable and con-
venient quarters. Los Angeles, with
its rapid Improvement and the erection
of numerous platial residences, large
store houses and costly public buildings,
presents a splendid field for talented
architects. Messrs. Preston & Son real
ize this fact, and a short time ago left
Austin, Texas, where they stood at the
head of the architectural profession and
came to this city where the field is so
much broader. Mr.. j. N. Preston has
been engaged in the practice of his pro.
fession for over thirty years, and was
the supervising architect of the Capitol
building at Austin. one of the most ex-
tensive and magnificent structures in the
United States. This firm also erected
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Terrell,
Texas, the eoarthouses at Brenham
and Bolton and many other buildings
which are pride to the State. Messrs.
Preston put in a finely executed plan
for our new courthouse, which was very
much admired. Los Angeles is always
glad to welcome such substantial citizens
and the HERALD predicts a successful
career for these talented and expe-
rienced architects in Southern Cali
fornia
